| | ::::: I think you're coming at it too much from the Navajo-language side of things. EN WT is intended for English readers, and as such needs to explain and label things as appropriate for an English reader. The term {{term|lang=nv|náhásdzo}} may be a verb, but if I understand the usage correctly, it is also used in a way that, for purposes of description in English, equates to a noun. The Japanese term {{l|ja|すごい|tr=''sugoi''}} is a stative verb, but for purposes of description in English, the entry here on WT appropriately labels two POSes, one as an adjective and one as an interjection. | | ::::: I think you're coming at it too much from the Navajo-language side of things.

| | ::::: Deverbalized nouns are not uncommon, in either English or Navajo. Take {{term|lang=en|run}}, for instance -- one can have a run of good or bad luck, or a run in one's stocking, both noun usages of what is generally a verb. Or take {{term|lang=nv|naaltsoos}} or {{term|lang=nv|naanish}}, both third-person singular verb forms that are used as nouns. I would argue that {{term|lang=nv|náhásdzo}} (as I currently understand the term) is a similar word, to wit, a verb form that is also used as a noun. -- Cheers, [[User:Eirikr|Eiríkr Útlendi]] │ <small style="position: relative; top: -3px;">''[[User talk:Eirikr|Tala við mig]]''</small> 23:55, 12 April 2012 (UTC) | | ::::: Deverbalized nouns are not uncommon, in either English or Navajo.
